Strong reasons for using carpet tiles

• Versatility: Carpet tiles come in various colors, patterns, and textures, allowing for creative and customizable flooring designs.
• Ease of Installation: They are easy to install, requiring minimal tools and time, making them perfect for DIY projects.
• Durability: Designed to withstand heavy traffic, carpet tiles are highly durable and maintain their appearance over time.
• Maintenance: Individual tiles can be replaced if damaged, making maintenance and repairs simple and cost-effective.

Carpet tiles are ideal for many different types of installation.

You need have no concern as to their durability compared to regular floor coverings. One feature they do offer is the versatility of creating extra patterns with effects not possible with any other type of floor covering.
The advantages of maintaining them far outweigh the costs of conventional carpeting. Any damages, or staining, and all you have to do is replace those affected. It is a simply a matter of using one you saved from the installation. You can’t do that with broadloom.

So over time the savings can be huge. Imagine if you have a large area but only one part is well worn. All you have to do is move those from a lightly worn area to the main walkway and presto, you have fresh carpeting in your main walkway.

The only thing you have to bear in mind is to be sure to order a few extra tiles just in case. But the savings make this well worthwhile.

The biggest market carpet tiles have to attack right now is broadloom, which is more popular in domestic installations. Due to the reluctance of this market to adopt tiles, major manufacturers have had to make do with installations in less-used room of the house such as the basement and garage.
The hospitality markets where larger areas are involved currently feature the design effects provided by broadloom. On a larger scale the industry can achieve lower costs of production which has helped them keep carpet tiles out of this prized sector.
However there is a strong trend today among design led hotels, to adopt the geometric design effect that tiles offer.

One of the cost advantages of tiles are their ability to be laid quickly and cheaply. There is far less wastage when it comes to trimming when fitting into awkward shapes.
